Southminster St Leonards took a huge step towards securing the Premier Division title after an emphatic 3-1 win over title rivals Frenford Senior on Saturday.

Frenford - Olympian League champions for the past two seasons - went ahead through Brad Foley before Greig Taylor equalised for Southminster.

Josh McEvoy put Southminster in the lead and Ross Adams sealed the victory from 25 yards out, ensuring Southminster only need a point against Buckhurst Hill to guarantee the league title on Wednesday evening.

Frenford Senior will have to wait until Saturday to host Manford Way, but they can no longer overhaul Southminster.

Kelvedon Hatch could only earn a 3-3 draw against relegation battlers White Ensign, all but ending their hopes of landing the title.

Lee Cody, Mike Daniels and Bill Munroe were all on target for Kelvedon, but goals from Bill Crumpton, Lee Delf and Jamie Brown gave White Ensign a crucial point.

Fourth-place Kelvedon still hold five games in hand on the rest of the division, but will need to win them all to snatch the title from Southminster's grasp.

They travel to Wadham Lodge on Wednesday.

White Ensign are now just a point behind Harold Wood ahead of their relegation clash on Wednesday.

A Ricky Bailey strike earned Manford Way a hugely important 1-0 victory over Wadham Lodge in their fight against relegation.

Manford are now four points clear of the drop with two to play.

Harold Hill gained just their second win of the season securing a 4-3 victory against May & Baker E.C.

Ricky Reid and Martin Begg both bagged a brace for the already-relegated Harold Hill.
